Drive to Peacehaven to See Bron my Vet 🙂



 So Nix managed to change our appt with Bron and bring it forward to lunchtime as we didn’t want to drive that far after dark. Going over the Telscombe cliffs is bad enough in daylight 🫢



Nix had a very long chat with Bron to work out a plan of action. They decided that there has been some improvement since I started the Fluoxetine (Prozac) and as it can take some weeks to kick in they don’t want to start adding other stuff just yet. If in a month there isn’t much improvement they will add in Vivitonin but we have to be very careful with any new drug because of my autoimmune situation so I should have to have my bloods checked regularly. Bron is against a brain scan (MRI) as there is risk involved and what would we do if I had a brain tumour…nothing, so no point.



My anal glands were empty and Bron feels they filled up because of stress rather than the other way round and now I’m a little calmer they’ve been okay…thank goodness!



Last night Nix slept on the mattress on the floor and I got straight on there with her. I only lasted an hour before I woke her up with my digging but I soon went to sleep again and slept through the night…in my donut bed 🙂 Watching her trying to get out this morning was painful but she maintains her back feels a million times better 🤔




We had a walk in the woods before our appt and we met a really nice Beardie cross, he was 16! I chased three squirrels 🙂


We just went to visit our neighbour and friend Janet and as soon as I got there I tried to steal anything I could get hold of, the grandchildren’s toys were favourite. When Nix and Janet sat down with their cups of tea I went to sleep in front of the window. Unfortunately I only lasted five minutes when I started trying to get out so Nix had to bring me home. Not the best start to the long term plan apparently but I’m fine now we’re home and I’ve gone to sleep 🙂




They’re knocking down one of the original bungalows from Bungalow Town days which is very sad. As you may know they used to use old railway carriages as bathrooms and kitchens and bedrooms and the demolition guys have saved one of the doors for our garden…Nix is very happy about this, I have no idea why 🙂

Everything You Wanted to Know About Fripp

Image
My name is Fripp aka The Fripster, I am a Bearded Collie and I came to live with Nix when I was two years old.  I spent the first two years of my life living in Monaco but my owners couldn’t keep me because they were working long hours. Even though Nix lives in the UK she saw me and wanted me, naturally, and so my breeder brought me to the UK when she was visiting Crufts. Nix says she had no idea what she was letting herself in for and if I hadn’t come all the way from France she’d have sent me straight back the next day. She said I was completely untrained, tried to kill the cat and had separation anxiety so bad I would knock her over rather than let her get to the front door. None of this is true of course.  Nix and I have lived in perfect harmony for the last eight years even though she might say different. I got very sick when I was seven with an autoimmune disease called IMTP but I recovered from that even though I was bald for a while. Then a year later I ended up in hospital wit

Too Much Noisy Rain

Image
 Last night it started to rain, a lot, and as you know I do not like it when it rains, it scares me. I don’t mind it when I’m out on my walk as you can see from my photos but I don’t like it when I’m inside. I just couldn’t help myself, I had to get off the bed and start digging. Nix was very understanding for once but she does try to get me back on the bed. In the end I gave up and got on the bed and was just drifting off when there was this really loud scary noise. Nix said it sounded like a very loud demented dalek whatever that is...it was very scary and made me and Nix really jump. Turned out to be something to do with her phone and the battery going...is it too much to ask that she keep a check on these things, nearly gave me a heart attack.  It hasn’t stopped raining all day so there are only photos of me wet. I didn’t stay wet for long, I blotted myself off on the sofa first and then Nix’s bed. She thought there were towels on it but I’d dug them all up. The best news today is

Big Boats and Little Dogs

Image
 There was a very big boat making a lot of noise when we got to the beach this morning. Nix thought that it was very interesting, me not so much. I suppose it shows just how boring Nix’s life really is.  We went down the river this afternoon. You know how Nix has always been scared of going over the bridge over the busy road. Well now she’s decided she doesn’t like going under the busy road either. I think the lockdown thingy has finally done it’s worst. She says it’s worse coming back because she can see it in the distance and knows she’s got to go under it eventually. I like it under there, it’s really noisy and you can hear the lorries above you racing along.  I like to think I took her mind off going under the bridge by perfecting another one of my annoying habits. I like to walk right behind her and when she looks over her right shoulder to make sure I’m still there I overtake her on the left. She thinks I’ve gone AWOL and starts panicking and calling me but I’m behind her all the
